Artist Tammie O'Neal
Tammie’s passion for art is not just a career but a calling that has grown and evolved over the years. It’s about capturing moments of wonder and sharing this heartfelt expression of her deep beliefs. As a young child, an illness kept her inside, where she spent countless hours drawing and painting animals. She missed being outside enjoying nature, and eventually, she was well and could take walks in the country while her dad ran his hunting dogs. Her family camped and fished, and the time outdoors gave her an awe and appreciation for the natural world, a connection that continues to inspire her art.
Tammie strives to embody the glory of God in every brushstroke, opening windows to a world where hope blooms and joy dances in the vibrant colors of nature. She loves to create art that expresses the untamed beauty of landscapes and seascapes, the delicate charm of flowers, and the spirited essence of animals. Her art invites people into beauty and reflection, offering moments of peace and tranquility in a noisy world. She believes God is the ultimate creator and source of beauty and goodness. As we create and engage with art, we reflect on this divine image and participate in God’s ongoing work of creation.
Tammie and her husband live in Northeast Oklahoma, with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson just a few blocks away. Her two-room studio is filled with computers for digital work, art supplies, and painting easels. Two large windows bring in natural light, allowing her to enjoy nature's view as she creates her art.
What inspires me.
I believe God is the ultimate creator and source of all beauty and goodness. God is the master craftsman who created the heavens and the earth and made us in his image. As we create and engage with art, we reflect on this divine image and participate in God's ongoing work of creation. Art can be a way of worshiping and expressing gratitude and awe toward our Creator. So, let us use our gifts to glorify God and to share his love and beauty with others.
I encourage you to pursue whatever brings you joy and fulfills you. If you are a dancer, dance; if you are a singer, sing. Does creating music bring you joy? Then don't hold back; make your music, your joyful noise. Be the best you, you can be and bring glory to the one who made you. That gift inside you isn't just for you. The world is waiting for you to fulfill your destiny.
